The Alabama native will be entering his sixth season of college football after five years with the Chippewas. In 44 games at Central Michigan, Jones tallied 188 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, three interceptions and eight pass breakups.
His most productive campaign came in 2022, when he made 85 tackles and 6.5 tackles for loss while picking off two passes and breaking up five others. In 2023, he recorded 66 tackles, 2.5 tackles for loss, one interception and three breakups while forcing a fumble.
Defensive back is a position of need for A&M after juniors Jardin Gilbert and Tyreek Chappell and sophomore Deuce Harmon entered the transfer portal. Gilbert committed to LSU on Dec. 15. The Aggies’ first portal pickup was Kansas State sophomore cornerback Will Lee III on Dec. 10.
